Cool 'Andy Griffith Show' Facts Cool 'Andy Griffith Show' Facts Friday, 27 July 2012 06:26 AM Written by Rich Kienzle (These links are one clickable at YouCanWin.Com, keyword 'fun', scroll to 'Jan 2014 Links') When the concept of the Andy Griffith Show was created by Sheldon Leonard and Make Room for Daddy star Danny Thomas (Marlo's dad), Griffith agreed to star in the program and landed himself a half-ownership. Griffith had not been pursuing TV up to that point, but focusing on film roles in the wake of A Face in the Crowd, No Time For Sergeants and the best-forgotten Onionhead. Of the show's producers, Andy brought the only authentic Southern presence. The others were big city folks. This is just one small sample of what's in the article.

Bilko, M*A*S*H and the Heyday of U.S. Military Sitcoms (1955-75) Dennis Tredy 1 If the title of this paper quotes part of the refrain from Edwin Starr’s 1970 protest song, “War,” the song’s next line, proclaiming that war is good for “absolutely nothing” seems inaccurate, at least in terms of successful television sitcoms of from the 1950s to the 1970s. In fact, while Starr’s song was still an anti-Vietnam War battle cry, ground- breaking television programs like M*A*S*H (CBS, 1972-1983) were using laughter and tongue-in-cheek treatment of the horrors of war to provide a somewhat more palatable expression of the growing anti-war sentiment to American audiences.

  • American Heritage Center
    UNIVERSITY OF WYOMING AMERICAN HERITAGE CENTER GUIDE TO ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY RESOURCES Child actress Mary Jane Irving with Bessie Barriscale and Ben Alexander in the 1918 silent film Heart of Rachel. Mary Jane Irving papers, American Heritage Center. Compiled by D. Claudia Thompson and Shaun A. Hayes 2009 PREFACE When the University of Wyoming began collecting the papers of national entertainment figures in the 1970s, it was one of only a handful of repositories actively engaged in the field. Business and industry, science, family history, even print literature were all recognized as legitimate fields of study while prejudice remained against mere entertainment as a source of scholarship. There are two arguments to be made against this narrow vision. In the first place, entertainment is very much an industry. It employs thousands. It requires vast capital expenditure, and it lives or dies on profit. In the second place, popular culture is more universal than any other field. Each individual’s experience is unique, but one common thread running throughout humanity is the desire to be taken out of ourselves, to share with our neighbors some story of humor or adventure. This is the basis for entertainment. The Entertainment Industry collections at the American Heritage Center focus on the twentieth century. During the twentieth century, entertainment in the United States changed radically due to advances in communications technology. The development of radio made it possible for the first time for people on both coasts to listen to a performance simultaneously. The delivery of entertainment thus became immensely cheaper and, at the same time, the fame of individual performers grew.

  • Chapter Seven: the Main Event – Round One – 1958-1970 the Contest for Supremacy in Western Australian Commercial Television TVW7 Versus STW9
    Chapter Seven: The Main Event – Round One – 1958-1970 The Contest for Supremacy in Western Australian Commercial Television TVW7 versus STW9. The actual correlation of Local (Live) Production, Financial Returns and Survey Ratings. Introduction: Examination of the relationship between local (live) production, financial returns and audience survey ratings presented two possible main methods. These were ‘thematic’ or ‘chronologic’. I decided to use the latter method, as it made for easier comparison of the three elements, as they influenced each other during specific periods. The comprehensive record of audience survey ratings may prove valuable to future scholars, wanting to pursue other avenues in regard to the various imported (mainly American) fare which found favour with the viewers. Possibly the only complete set of Western Australian ratings survey books to survive intact were lodged with Government Archives in Sydney by the A.C. Nielsen company. The company retrieved them for my examination in September 2000. During the five years of research for this thesis, no evidence has been uncovered that a similar investigation has taken place. The research commenced from a different starting point, adopting a new slant, in that this work is believed to be the first systematic analysis of three main factors which occurred in Western Australian commercial television, each having a deep relationship to the other. These were the actual programs, both local ‘live’ and outsourced, financial returns as shown in the Annual Reports of the Companies concerned and the regular Television Audience Ratings Surveys. Through their correlation it has been possible to trace the evolution of local ‘live’ production in Perth.
